Default Microsoft on Vista Business SP1 games

I have the Visa Business SP1 software on my laptop.
In my view, that the games feature is not enabled by default. I tried to put using start-> Control Panel-> programs-> Turn Windows features On or Off...

I tried several times but each time I get an error "an error has occurred. Not all features are enabled. "leading finally no intalltion games.

Can someone tell me please how install/activate the default games provided with Vista.

Hi techdancer,

Generally, this type of program should be set by step you did.
I suggest you to run a check of system files on the computer.
Please follow the steps below to the auditor of the filesystem as the first steps:
1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
2. in the area of results, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click on continue. Then click on continue.
3. at the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
Note: The scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.

Also check the availability of games to the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games

Let us know if cela heps.

Thank you and best regards,
Clement Kumar.

  • Tecra S5 Vista Business SP1 - Tempro crashes instantly

    Hello

    I think that the idea of Tempro is just great. This allows me to keep all the drivers updated. Unfortunately, it didn't work for a few days and never again. Now, I received a notification of update that Tempro 1.2 is out.

    Installed and I hope that my misfortunes of the past will be more. No luck. So I'll try again to find out why and I hope someone on this forum can help identify why Tempro should simply crash the second that it is started.

    I get two types of errors:

    Is there someone who can help get this application to run?

    Thanks for your help.

    PS: in case it helps: Tecra S5, ZoneAlarm, SuperAntiSpy, Webroot AV and Vista Business SP1

    I see that you have installed a lot of 3rd party software.
    Hey Buddy, I got the Zonealarm too and I wasn't satisfied. This tool always requires approvals and other applications didn't work properly.

    I m wondering if the Tempro crashed after installing a new OS from Toshiba. I mean you could test to see if a 3rd party tool affect this software.

    I would recommend taking the recovery disk and reinstall the operating system. Updated the Tempro, then check if the problem still persists.

    Sorry, but buddy is a way to discover what causes this problem.

  • Missing Microsoft - Windows Vista 64-bit games

    No longer any games listed in the Games folder, even if they WERE there at the same time and even if they are listed and checked in turn Windows features On and Off the control panel.  How can I reload them?  Where did they go?

    I think I know what happened.  It seems that the Fix - It Utilities 11 program may have messed up some components of windows, including the games.  I found all the shortcuts in game in the trash at the same time I installed the Fix - It program with a bunch of other files.  I restored all the game related shortcuts and tried the Turn WIndows features we and Off again (somewhere on the way with my difficult things they apparently turned off) and all the games that are marketed with success (even though it took quite a while).  So I seem to be back in business.  But I uninstalled Fix - It Utilities and don't use it yet!  (I saw a LOT of bad reviews for the program on CNET.)

  • Memory minimum allocation for Vista Business Edition with Visual Studio 2008 VM?

    Long time listener, first time caller...

    Please excuse me if this question is answered somewhere else, I tried from Google and it came only with a response that was sort of what I was looking for, but was specific to a Macbook with Fusion...

    I want to create a Vista Business Edition (SP1) virtual machine with Visual Studio 2008 (which I think also is delivered with SQL 2005 Dev Edition) and I was wondering what the minimum memory allocation should be for this in order to make it work properly?

    Thank you

    Jim

    Hello and welcome to the forums.

    Amount of minimum support from Microsoft for Vista Business is 512 MB and 768 MB or more recommended for Visual Studio.  1280MB is the minimum.  Personally, I do not want anything less than 2 GB to a virtual machine with Vista and Visual Studio - 1 GB each.

    One of the great benefits of virtualization is that you can start this virtual machine with 1.5 GB and try it.  If the memory is not sufficient, then it is simple to give another 0.5 GB to the virtual machine and try again.

    Good luck!

  • Update for VISTA Business automatically leads to not being able to open the attachment in Windows Mail

    After an automatic update from Microsoft for VISTA Business on July 16, I now can't open attachments in the reading of e-mail messages in Windows Mail.  An error message indicates that the file is not found.  I have now to save all attachments and open my files before I read attachments.  It's very frustrating.  I had a similar experience, only a couple of weeks where a parameter is passed by an automatic update to VISTA leading to read all the emails being hidden from view.  I had never seen that before and it cost me £40 to get DELL Technical Support to sort for me.  Microsoft should not do this kind of thing are they?  Should I just revert to the original system (I have to pay DELL to do it for me) and just not allow Microsoft Update VISTA more.  I have my own business, no IT support and I want to just use my easy notebook for standard applications.  Nothing complicated.  I can't afford to waste time and money sorting on my laptop when I should run my own business in very difficult times.  Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

    I understand exactly what you're saying.

    Try this with updates to uninstall the problem and change the eo settings you decide what it is installed:

    Click Start > right click on computer > properties > Windows updates down the lower left corner > updates installed in the lower left corner in the next window

    > then click the one that you don't want > uninstall will appear at the top > uninstall it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, on the page where you clicked "Installed updates", click on change settings at the top left corner it

    > Change update settings in the next page of AutoUpdate to "check for updates but let me choose etc" > OK ".

    When you take a look at pending updates, you can either download/install them one at the time, namely the update causing you problems.

    > or if you do not need an individual > right-click on > UAC prompt > hide it

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • Windows Vista Business 32-bit external drive does not work in the administrator account

    Hello, I installed Microsoft Windows Vista Business 32-bit on a Dell Precision T3400 workstation, and I have also configured the strategies of groups for Non administrators. Basically, I disabled the removable drives, 'C' and had "only for non administrators." After edit in GP, the system has been precisely set and I am able to access the Administrators account and copy stuffs from my local drive on my USB key. But a few days later, I'm not able to use my USB or other external drives in Administrator account, it shows that 'inaccessible '. But I can't access local drives 'C' or '. Then I have to redo the group policies and it will last only for 3 days. Thanks :)

  • Dial-up networking cannot connect Vista Business

    Hello

    I'm unable to connect to a switch with Vista Business SP1 network, from a laptop computer HP6910p.

    Summary of the problem:

    • I create the dial-up networking connection via "connect to".
    • I select Connect to dial up, go into the details of authentication etc and click OK
    • The DUN system displays a bar of status with «Modems connection...» »
    • The DUN system never gets beyond that point. The modem never made up, and eventually it times out.
    • If I choose the "repair" option, Vista reports that there is no problem with dial-up networking

    Attempted fixes:

    I tried just about everything short of reinstalling Vista (not an option unfortunately), so why I post here

    • Have uninstalled and reinstalled the modem several times.  The modem is listed in the Device Manager and reacts appropriately when he is questioned
    • HP have replaced the modem
    • Have uninstalled all the programs I thought could potentially cause some kind of conflict with DUN, including Nokia PC Suite (install phone as a BT modem), Cisco VPN client.
    • You disable the "wait tone before dialing."
    • Have you tried to tone and pulse dialing
    • Have you tried several lines in different locations, after checking that they have worked with another computer

    Here's the most important thing, though:

    • I extracted xp hyperterminal and running towards him to diagnose the hardware problem.
    • HyperTerminal is able to deal with success a connection!
    • When I tested it with hyperterminal works as expected - create the connection, entry number, dial. The modem comes on, I hear it dial and the call connects.
      • That's why I'm leads that the problem is with vista not the hardware.
      • Could there be a problem with how to Vista DUN trying to drive the modem?

    In my many searches on the web for a solution, I found another person who seems to have a similar problem, but unfortunately no one responded to their question.

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    G.

    I have answered my own question, after days trying to solve it on and outside.

    Somehow 'calls routed through the operator or manual numbering' had been enabled for dial-up.

    To turn it off,

    1. Open "network connections
    2. Select the dial-up connection, press the ALT key and click on the Advanced menu, and then click operator-assisted dialing. (If the assisted dialing is enabled, with assistance of the operator dialing on the Advanced menu is selected.)

    I hope this helps someone else in the future!

  • Product key OEM Windows Vista Business on Precision 490

    Just bought a Dell Precision 490. It comes with 32-bit Windows 7 HP... The product key for Windows 7 is on the case. With this key, there is a Microsoft Windows Vista Business OEM key. My first question is how do I know if it is a key of 32 or 64-bit of Windows Vista? Or can be used for either (it does not specify the key). My second question is how properly to reinstall Windows Vista. I noticed there are a lot of different people who sell different restart/reinstall/repair disk. Thank you.

    Windows OEM product keys can be used to install either 32-bit or 64-bit.

    You can ask Dell support (if in the United States, and after a "transfer of property") or use a disc from another system that corresponds to the version of that license is for (Home, Ultimate, etc.):

    support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

    You can use Retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using your product key:

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-Vista-Official-ISO-Download-Links-Digital-River.aspx

    Just boot on the Windows DVD, delete all partitions that are shown to you, then call install... you will have to install drivers after Windows is installed, but you can ask that once Windows is on.

    You must also determine if you have a RAID controller that requires special drivers during installation.  The 490 could use a PERC or SAS RAID 5 card.  You can check the box to see where the disks are wired to and/or check during POST to see if you have a CTRL-C or a prompt CTRL-R, while the loading devices.

  • Get inluded games to work in Vista Business.

    I use Vista Business and I try to get the games to work which are included. On the Microsoft answers site, I found the following instructions;   "The games are included in Business, but they are not installed by default.

    "Go to control panel, programs, programs and features, and then click on" Turn Windows features on or off "and put a check mark in the box of games." I followed the instructions and when I got to the window where I had to check something, there was a field of empy with no radio button or whatever it be listed.

    You can have a more serious problem.  Maybe a file corrupted somehow.  I suggest you contact Microsoft technical support.  They have tools that can help diagnose the problem with your system as well as making recommendations to the software that may require updates, etc..

  • Windows Vista Business still don't not patched with SP1 via auto-mises to update or manual updates

    Our laptop Fujitsu is installed with Windows Vista Business. We have been used for about 1 year more, get the updates via automatic updates.

    I read that Vista has up to SP2. But check the details of the system shows that no service pack has been applied. So I trigger the update via IE-> tools-> Windows Update. He said that "no important updates available.

    I think that when you apply SP1, it will move from IE7 to IE8. So, we still have IE7.

    Why the service pack is not available for our case?

    Kind regards
    Ben

    A1. Yes.

    A2. You are 'safe' for now, as long as the computer kept fully patched to Windows Update otherwise. That being said, there will come a time in the not-too-distant that a computer without SP1 installed will not offer still updates all founded. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

  • Window vista business 32 bit auto update not install SP1

    I have Window vista business 32 bit on Sony Vaio laptop. My automatic update of the window is on, a lot of updates were installed, I can't find the SP1.  I checked the updates, saw "the view update history" but can't find SP1.  Basic information system shows no service pack. 'Winver' shows Version 6.0 (6000 building). All other window updates have been installed except "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express edition service pack 3 (KB955706) who is still unable to install, do not know for what reason." I guess that there is no link between the failed SQL and SP1. It is after a complete reinstall of Vista 3-4 days back.

    Prior to the relocation is in that the original version, Vista SP1 was installed automatically by the Update window.
    I wonder if SP1 is already installed, but is not displayed or should I download and install it manually.

    Thank you. I was able to install SP1 and SP2 after the changes and the process you described.
